Here are my six essential components for an unforgettable event.

1 Consultation
I suggest we get together once or twice to discuss likes and dislikes and to talk about a music
direction.

2 Sound
I provide a state of the art sound system, that imparts a pulse and soulful sound to the audience.

3 Percussion
I play and encourage the audience to join in on a percussion kit comprising of bongos, timbales, cowbell, maracas and tambourines. This makes for great interactivity in the room.

4 Lighting
The atmosphere is enhanced with subtle lighting if required.

5 Venue Liaison
I like to liase with the venue before the event to discuss access, set up times and sound requirments to ensure your event runs smoothly.

6 Preparation & Experience
After putting your tunes together the event will really come to life. What to play, what to leave out. Timing and feel are important.

Pacing the show and leaving the guests on a high means your very special day will be warmly remembered for years to come.

Tunes
I have a vast range of music. From the fifties to the present day. Remember how varied the demographic and age can be at a wedding. It’s great to tap into the energy of all groups. I have some unique ideas on individual songs and I don’t go for a clichéd list of tunes.
*Songlists can be emailed to you if you would like to be presented with a few ideas.

Other Services
• Dress code if required • Wireless microphone • Extra lighting • Travel to regional areas• Extra sound and back up equipment • Public liability insurance

Thank you for making a considerable contribution to a sensational night!!

- Edward and Anastassia

Music Direction

Music can make or break a night. What you play is so important and when you play it is critical.
I have an extensive range of music from all the eras.

For drinks and dinner I play an eclectic selection of
latin, soul, funk and jazz.
Cruisy and breezy background music is a way of getting people in the mood for the dance set.

Choose from (and I can mix it up);

40’s Jazzy Swing - for the mature audience
50’s Rock ‘n’ Roll & Rockabilly eg Elvis, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly
60’s English R&B eg The Rolling Stones, Spencer Davis Group
Soul eg Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles
American Pop eg Neil Diamond, The Monkees
Mowtown eg Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes
The Funky 70’s eg Curtis Mayfield, Chic, Sister Sledge
Disco Seventies eg Stayin’ Alive (Bee Gees), Earth Wind & Fire
Great One Hit Wonders eg. Roger Voudouris, Buggles
80’s New Romantics eg Duran Duran, Human League
Radio Hits eg Wham, Toto, Toni Basil
Aussie 80’s Rock eg Hoodoo Gurus, Dragon
Party Hits eg Madonna, Abba, Village People*
Disco 80’s eg Pointer Sisters, Patrick Hernandez
90’s Rap R&B eg Salt ‘n’ Pepa, LL Cool J
Early House eg Haddaway, Urban Cookie Collective
Commercial House eg Kylie and Jamiriquai
Funky House eg Moloko
2000-2009 - Most of the Ministry of Sound, Current House Music eg Lady Ga Ga, The Ting Tings, The Potbelleez, MGMT & Sneaky Sound System
Current R&B Hits eg Pussycat Dolls, Justin Timberlake, The Black Eyed Peas

The style is infectious and uplifting hooking in on all the great love messages without being cheesy.

Latin, Soul and Funky Acid Jazz also lend themselves to a classier alternate feel.
Remember tunes like Oye Como Va and Cantaloop by US3?

All tunes can be emailed to you.

I can also impart a very individual selection of tunes if you would like a unique feel for your wedding.

*This is a Makarena free zone (unless you really, really, really want it!)
